Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.

We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

The amazing world of the mobile phone. Well we have come a long way in learning the art of communicating correctly, politely and sensibly.
Of course their will always be those who abuse the use of a mobile and intrude on others. As spoken about, calling or texting in wrong hours of the day and night.
They are useful for protection and they can be used against others, all depends on the user and the're own manners and discretion.

I was astonsihed that my 80 yr old father was determined to learn how to use one, and now feels safe when he has it with him. Not to mention I am certain we all love to send a message with I love you, which just reinforces the naturing of communication to our loved ones.

If you think about it, an osbessive type person, will use them in a particular manner. They are a bridging gap which I think has been missing since the times of messages being sent by telegram and even before that the horseback riders.
The world has come a long way.
Mobile phones and manners go hand in hand.
